Antonio Maffei

Antonio Maffei (1450-1478) was a Florentine monk and from 1456 a member of the Pazzi Conspiracy.

Biography
Maffei was a monk who joined the Knights Templar in 1476 after he was a witness to the sacking of Volterra by Florentine mercenaries, and he was a member of the Pazzi Conspiracy against the House of Medici. On 26 April 1478 he attempted to kill Lorenzo de Medici, but he failed to kill him, only wounding him. He fled to San Gimignano and took refuge on a tower, encircled by Templar archers. Mario Auditore's scouts tracked him down, so Ezio Auditore da Firenze headed to kill him.

Death
Ezio climbed the tower, hearing him insulting the people of San Gimignano, and he stabbed him with a hidden blade after jumping down from the rampart. Maffei fell off the tower, and insulted Ezio, before dying in his arms.
